Joel Hodgson from the original MST3K, is saying he wants to reboot the show later this year...


Tucked away in this fantastic Wired article about the history of MST3K (http://www.wired.com/2014/04/mst3k-oral-history/) comes the amazing news that creator Joel Hodgson is trying to bring back the beloved series — this time online, and with a brand-new host.

Here's the proof:
[Wired:] But this year Mystery Science Theater may finally get a long-*rumored, heavily anticipated reboot. This spring Hodgson is hoping to start a new online incarnation of the show, one that will feature a fresh (and as-yet-unannounced) host and cameos from many MST3K alumni.
Hodgson: I've talked to a bunch of fans about their lives and what MST3K means to them. I'm overwhelmed by how people took to that show. It really affected them. I thought, if enough people still love it, maybe we can bring it back.
Even avid viewers sometimes don't realize that every major role in the show had been swapped out over time. So in my mind, the show is built to be refreshed with new people and new ideas. It's like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as it applies to MST3K: If it doesn't change, it's not the same show. And fortunately for us, as long as there are movies, there are always going to be cheesy movies.




Can't wait to see this happen.
